With the same outraged sensibility that fueled his muckraking exposé The Jungle, Sinclair turns a gimlet eye upon the jaded lifestyles of New York City’s high society in this 1907 novel. Freshly arrived from Mississippi, young lawyer Allan Montague is swept up in a profligate atmosphere of party-going and excess that soon threatens to destroy him.
Over de auteur
Upton Sinclair (1878-1968) is best remembered for The Jungle (1906), his fictionalized exposé of the unsanitary and unfair working conditions that characterized the U.S. meatpacking industry. A lifelong progressive, he ran for the governor of California in 1934.
